X-Factors
Bradley Roby
With all the talk about Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr., I would like to see a breakout performance by the former first round draft pick from 2014 have a field day.
He does have one interception on the season, but he did record a defensive touchdown this season when he returned a Jaamal Charles fumble for a Scoop ‘n’ Score.
I see this as his game. I will even go out and say he becomes the third Broncos cornerback to record a pick six this season.
Vernon Davis
If Vernon Davis was unhappy in San Francisco, then I cannot wait to see what he can do in a Broncos uniform. The reason why I have him as my offensive X-Factor is for two reasons.
One, he can help out the running game. While he is not as strong as a blocker, his presence on the field can definitely help open up lanes for Anderson and Hillman to run across.
Two, his pass catching abilities could help him develop into that security blanket for Manning. Being able to check to the tight end in key situations could really help the Broncos offense keep the drive alive and score more often.
I know it is a lot of pressure to put on the newly acquired tight end, but I think he will show flashes of his former self on Sunday.
